I’m so excited to share this list of 50 thoughtful gifts for the femme in your life, all under $100! Recently, someone I consider an amazing gift-giver shared a piece of advice that really stuck with me: Think about the things people use every day and gift them a more elevated, luxurious version. It’s such a simple yet brilliant approach, and I kept it in mind as I curated this list.
You’ll find a mix of gifts that are perfect for femmes but also fantastic for anyone who appreciates a balance of aesthetics and quality. Each item was chosen with care, blending style with function to create gifts that feel as intentional as they are delightful. Whether you’re shopping for a partner, a bestie, or even treating yourself—happy gifting!
Rare Beauty
You can’t go wrong with a Rare Beauty Blush, and this gift set gives them multiple new products to try.
Cute Socks
You have a couple of options here depending on their style. Cozy socks are a cold weather sure bet. But you could also go with something like this fun retro, stripped version or an it-girl favorite the Bambas ruffle socks.
Gold Hoop Earrings
A classic. Buy something that is good quality and you can’t go wrong here. This classic huggie set from Gorjana is great. If this pair isn’t quite right they have tons of other great options.
Summer Fridays
Two favorites stand out here. You can’t go wrong with the Lip Butter Balm or the Jet Lag Mask. The mask is one of our most recommended skin care products for travelers because it hydrates and refreshes skin unlike anything else we’ve used.
Wall Art
There is something so special about curating home decor that makes you smile as soon as you walking the door. Etsy is a great place to source low-cost prints for every aesthetic. You can give them as is but tossing them in a cute frame, even a thriftd one would be perfect. We have a whole list of queer and lesbian wall art but I’d recommend finding something that reminds you of them.
Fancy Olive Oil
Brightland has a gift set that is aesthetic and delicious. This gift set comes with four of their infused oils is gorgeous bottles, ready to be used and displayed.
Fancy Candy
Everyone loves a little sweet treat in their stocking but lets give it an upgrade so it feels a little extra special.
Mojave Marshmallows
They come in 3 great flavors including S’mores Speckled and I can’t get over how cute the packaging is.
Salty Caramels
Jacobsen Salt Co nails the salty sweet combo. These salty caramels could not be more delicious.
Chocolate Bars
There are so many to choose from here. My advice is to go with something it is a more elevated version of what they typically reach for. If it is chocolate peanut butter, something with fruit, a seasonal option or a classic dark chocolate this is an easy addition.
BonBon
If you’re shopping for someone who leans more towards gummy candy BonBon is a great option. They’re a Swedish candy company that has sort of taken the internet by storm this year. As someone who loves gummy candy, I can confirm this is more fresh and flavorful than anything I’ve had. You can make your mix or buy one of the popular mixes.
Great Candles
There are so many great options but I’m sticking to my my theme of buying something just slightly nicer than the person I’m shopping for would buy for themself. A few options that I love are Brooklyn Candle Studio, of course because they have great scents but also because they burn long and slow. I burn one almost daily.
Another favorite is Snif, they have some incredible scents and do really cool collabs. If you’re looking for seasonal candles, this is a great option.
Last but not least is La Labo, honestly in terms of candles it doesn’t get much better than La Labo. The Discovery set is the way to go if you don’t know their favorite scent.
Fancy Finishing Salts
If you’re shopping for a cheap this is a fun gift. You can buy individual salts or a full-infused slide tin collection depending on what you’re looking to spend. They’re in cute tins and would be an adorable to a kitchen counter or island.
Disposable Camera
A fun addition for someone who loves to document the adventure. There’s something special about snapping on film and patiently waiting to get those prints back. Get a disposable to document the holiday together
Bag Charms
Bag charms are popular right now and the options from Anthropologie are great. We love this Icon Pearl Bag Charm and this Taurus bag charm.
Moonstone Ring
Jewelry is a great option. It’s deeply personal but this moonstone ring from Linjer is simple and stylish.
Wine + Chocolate Gift Set
Wine and chocolate are usually a sure bet. This set has mini wine bottles so you could host your own tasting. This wine & chocolate gift set would be great as a host gift.
Super Goop Sunscreen
Everyone needs a great daily sunscreen and this Unscreen from Super Goop is great. Its light and doesn’t leave you feeling greasy.
Cute Coloring Book
Coloring is such a sweet way to unwind screen-free. There are some cute simple books that help you turn your brain off and you can easily finish a page in a night. Don’t forget to add a pack of good markers.
Shower Steamers
Shower steamers make your every day at-home shower feel like a spa. Seriously, these shower steamers from Esker with essential oils smell incredible.
Matches & Lighters
I love gifting highly a highly aesthetic version of an everyday item. A few that I like are these glass cloche from anthropology.
Additionally, there are few things more special than a customized gift. On Etsy, you can get custom matches and engraved lighters and I’m obsessed with how cute they are.
Lastly, if you’re primarily using lighters for candles I’d recommend grabbing a pretty flameless lighter that you can charge with a USB. This one from Uncommon Goods is funky and fun.
Monogram Baggage Tag
All travelers would love a gorgeous bag tag like this one.
Small Photo Book from a Trip
Photos are such a gorgeous way to preserve a memory. We all have gigantic camera rolls overflowing with memories but there is something special about seeing those moments almost come to life in print. I also appreciate the intention behind building a gift for someone. This year I made books with Artifact Uprising to share with my loved ones and they turned out incredible.
These Soft Cover Books are the perfect way to document trips or special occasions with the ones you love.
Milk Frother
Upgrade the daily coffee fix with a great milk frother.
DedCool Liquid Laundry Dedtergent
Hear me out. I know laundry detergent is a weird gift, but this DedCool Detergent is incredible. It follows the trend of elevating everyday essentials. The way this stuff makes your blankets, towels and bed sheets smell is out of this world.
Mighty Patch
These pimple patches work so well. They are so great to have on hand because you just never know.
Octobuddy
If you’re shopping for a creator this Octobuddy is a great little gift. It’s so simple to use on the go.
Setting Spray
when it comes to setting sprays there are really just two favorites, One til Dawn and Urban Decay. If you’re grabbing one for a stocking either one will be a win.
Apple Airtag
If you don’t already have an Airtag in all of the bags you travel with, you should. It has saved everyone on the EQ team time and time again with lost baggage.
Water Bottle
Everyone is out here trying to drink more water. The bottles from Brumate come in beautiful earth tones and they really don’t leak which is great on the go.
Toiletry Bag
Still loving all things customizable, this adorable bandana spring toiletry bag has custom embroidery.
Soft Services
A hand cream that’s not just functional but also stunning enough to double as décor anywhere in your home. This hand cream by Soft Services elevates an everyday essential into a luxurious experience, blending anti-aging benefits with sophisticated design.
Recipe Book
We are in LOVE with recipe books as decor and a way to remember trips that we’ve taken. They are beautiful and of course, offer great meal ideas whenever you need them.
Phlur Discovery Set
Phlur Discovery Set: Explore a world of fragrance with this eight-piece collection of Eau de Parfums, perfect for every mood and moment. Try them all to find your new signature scent or break up the set to share with friends. Wear each fragrance solo or layer them to create a personalized, one-of-a-kind aroma.
Hair Mask
Amika’s Soulfood Nourishing Hair Mask transforms your hair with its rich, moisturizing formula, delivering deep hydration that leaves it irresistibly soft, shiny, and manageable for days—all while smelling absolutely divine.
Coffee Syrups
Add a spark to your morning cup with some new and unique coffee syrup flavors like Algerian Baklava and Miso Salted Caramel. Transcendence Coffee is our go-to for high-quality syrups and the bottles will make an adorable addition to any coffee bar.
This year’s seasonal flavor is Dutch Speculaas Cookie Syrup, comparable to gingerbread and I can’t handle that they’ve added a Santa hat to the already cute logo.
